Stiff Dough

like how this recipe smelled before we stuck it in the refrigerator. however, make sure you don't put the dough in there for more than an hour and then take it out to roll it. the dough was very hard to roll, definetly not a make ahead dough. eventually it warmed up enough I got a few cookies out of it and they tasted great.

Squeaking Good Gingerbread boys!

These cookies rock. I looked up tons of gingerbread cookie recipes on the net. I was so concerned because my 6 yr old grandson wanted gingerbread boys. He has never tasted gingerbread so I thought ,"what a waste -bake all this up and I know he won't like the spicy taste!".Well this Chocolate version will be a hit with all the grandkids and grammy is Super Grammy thanks to you!

Horrible Mistake!

I started to make these for my three year old neice because she was moving into yet another new home. I didn't even get to baking them, the dough was awful due to allt the molasses! Do not make them ever!
